Hays, 65, and apparently insatiable, admitted the relationship but protested unpersuasively that Ray had done other work too. Few of the many men who had encountered Liz during her four years on Capitol Hill knew of any talents beyond the bedroom. Congressional Democrats pressed for Hays to resign his committee chairmanships, and even the reputation of House Speaker Carl Albert was at stake.

A former Hays staffer says she liked to pose "with lots of suggestion of mouth action." Once, Hays snapped at her: "For Christ's sake, you've been in enough pictures...
...royal suite she expected, and more trouble when she passed up several social functions. By the time she had taken some photos for the family album and finished her ten-day visit, she was being criticized not only for her manners but for her looks and taste. Liz, carped Zan-E-Ruz, Iran's largest women's magazine, "is a fattish, short, big-busted woman with poor makeup, and totally out of fashion." ∙ "She predicted we wouldn't do well against Chicago last weekend, and they kicked the living dickens out of us," noted Oakland Athletics...
